Does anyone know which FM Radio chip the Note has ?
My guess is a Silicon Labs dedicated FM chip, as is in the Galaxy S and S2 models. Perhaps it's accessible via /dev/fmradio.
If you call 5" a tablet, I think this Note may be the first major manufacturer tablet with officially supported FM radio. There are some esoteric Chinese tabs that support FM, and the original Dell Streak 5" has FM, but was never officially supported.
Can someone try the FM TwoO app and report if it works ? : https://market.android.com/details?id=ca.gc.crc.fmtwoo
I am also very interested to know if my FM app runs on this device, rooted or not: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mikersmicros.fm
Thanks !
Someone has sent me debug logs (Thanks !) so I don't need any more. This device does have a Silicon Labs FM chip, and it appears that my app is working, although the emailer didn't say. He set Menu->Settings->Audio->Method to "Samsung2". It's possible "Samsung" would also work on a stock device.
Other than my curiousity about FM TwoO working, my question is answered. I'm tempted to close this thread, since I'm not here to try and promote my app, but I'll leave it open for now at least, should anyone want to discuss FM on this device, as appropriate for a Q & A forum. (?)
BTW, I get the impression that the Samsung FM app is better than other stock FM apps. It supports RDS, and I think AF, and on this device at least it seems to support recording, which I'm not sure any other FM app does.
hello
as i was already searching for any alternative FM Radio app that does not stream from the internet as there are millions and millions of streaming apps out there it was impossible for me to find them in the android market.
I liked the alternative radio app for my old Windows Mobile Device.
Now i own a Galaxy Note and tried the two apps
FM TwoO and Spirit FM Free.
It finds Radio Stations etc. But i get no sound from both apps.
I think i tried every possible sound setting.
I have Root on my Device but everything else is stock.
Is it supposed to not work on the Stock rom or can i help you with something like a debug output so your app can work on this device?
Just tell me

Hi. There are almost no alternative FM apps for Android because Google refused and still refuses to provide an API. Just about every phone and chip manufacturer does FM differently and keeps their methods secret so it requires reverse engineering, which is very difficult and time consuming.
The CyanogenMod and MIUI ROMs have their own FM apps (for some devices only). FM TwoO works on some Galaxy S/S2 stock ROMs. My app Spirit tries to work on as many ROMs and chips etc. as feasible.
Now i own a Galaxy Note and tried the two apps
FM TwoO and Spirit FM Free.
It finds Radio Stations etc. But i get no sound from both apps.

Finding stations etc. is the first obstacle. I'm happy to hear this works OK.
Sound is always the second obstacle; so many phones do this differently, even otherwise somewhat similar phones as Galaxy S and S2.
If the Audio Methods Samsung and Samsung2 don't work, we need a new Samsung3 method I guess. I think the S2 has the same issue. If I examine the stock FM app, and perhaps some logs, I should be able to determine what needs to be done.
Can you do this ? :
- Start the stock FM app, run for a few seconds, then stop it.
- Start my app, then send me logs with Menu->Help->EM Logs. In the email text please put "Galaxy Note" before pressing Send.
BTW, the stock S2/Note FM app seems pretty good, so I don't think you are missing too much from alternative apps at this time.
Also, I think my app may "work", more or less, if you start it while the stock app is running. I think the apps can co-exist simultaneously, but there are probably a few issues.
hello and thanks for your response.
You are right. The stock radio app is a lot better then the stock radio app on my windows mobile phone was. But still i dont like for example the really short textfield where the RDS text is written when the phone is in portait mode because most of the text is missing. It is better in landscape mode.
And of course alternatives are always good.
Your app works good when i keep the original radio app running in the background. (but i think the reception quality seems to be a bit worse with your app even on the same frequence. But i should test this more)
But it crashes as soon as i press the headphone/speaker button. Only a restart helps then to get rid of the stock radio-app and to get the radio working again.
i have send you a log file. hope it helps and keep up your work.

For Samsung Galaxy S, S2, Note, S3 etc:
Very experimental support for stock and stock derived ROMs with the Samsung Proprietary API. Works OK on my Galaxy S with Darky ROM Extreme Edition 10.2.
- Enable Settings->Debug->SA Proprietary.
- Restart the app.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/a12sm7m13smbjub/Spirit_FM_Radio_v120110.apk
- The Audio->Method is best set to the default of CyanogenMod, but might also work on Samsung, or even None or GalaxyS ALSA as a last resort.
Next release I'll re-enable the recording code and I think it will work on the Note, but might also work on Galaxy S/S2 devices.
If it works or not, please send me a log, best with SU/root:
Select Menu->Help-EM Logs, wait a few seconds, enter "Note" in the email text and press send.
I wish I could afford one of these Notes...

Another shot at Samsung Proprietary support for Galaxy S2 / Note class devices, in addition to Galaxy S devices w/ FM.
As before, enable Settings-Debug->SA Proprietary and restart. SU/Root should not be needed.
Regards,
Mike.
At least one person reports this working on a a Galaxy S2. Please let me know, positive or negative.
I could REALLY use some help testing my FM app on a Note or S2 with a stock or stock derived ROM on which the stock FM app works.
I can't afford one, US/Canada versions have no FM anyway, and Samsung's Remote Test Lab seems just about useless.
The Remote Note I tried started the Feb 26 Market version of my app in the Proprietary FM API mode OK, so I think it's close to working, but that API requires an earphone/antenna plugged in, and the test device doesn't have that. And I can't get the debug logs or shell access either.
There's a Feb 28 version linked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23059662&postcount=2357
For a few weeks now, my app works on my Galaxy S with stock derived Darky ROMs using the Samsung API, and un-rooted.
Thanks !

The first results are positive. I just listened to fm radio for about 15 minutes. It works through headphones and the speaker. But as far as I can tell the.reception seems to be somewhat worse than with the stock fm radio.
Phone is a N-7000 with stock ICS , rooted, PhilZ kernel. Are there any specific tests I should conduct?

Hello,
As It's difficult to search for "ANT+" in the forums, sorry if this issue has already been addressed
And now some extra keywords to ease the search: ant, ant+, antplus, ant_plus, antwireless, ant_wireless
This is a thread to summarized all the facts about ANT+ and the Nexus 5 I have found so far:
HARDWARE: BCM4339. The Nexus 5 has this chip which provides WiFi, BT and presumably ANT+. It's also present in the Galaxy Note 3 which reportedly has ANT+ capabilities.
DRIVER: The required driver source can be found here: https://github.com/ant-wireless . Once compiled it generates a module (libantradio.so) and two apk (AntHalService.apk, ANTRadioService.apk).
SOFTWARE: There are several apps with ANT+ enabled, but for testing purposes the ANT+ demo can be used.
To be able to test ANT+ I have the Nexus 5 and ANT+ capable hardware (HRM, cadence sensor, etc), the ANT+ Demo in google play but I'm missing the driver.
I know I need a kernel with module loading enabled (for example this modified stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514765) but I don't know howto to compile the ANT+ module.
Can someone generate the driver as per the instructions in https://github.com/ant-wireless/ANT_in_Android or explain me how to do it?
I'm on a linux host, I have a rather limited experience in compiling stuff but I'm not afraid of learning something in the process!
Thanks!!
very interested in the results. thank you for your work on this
interested
Subscribed.
I am also interested in this as I have my phone and Garmin Forerunner watch with me when I run so if I can just carry my phone and get the same data that would be awesome!
If no one else takes this on, I'll see about looking into it later. Keep in mind though that I'm not a developer of any sort but am comfortable with compiling kernels. I have an ANT+ HRM from my Motoactv that I'd like to use.
Ok,
So far I haven't able to compile stock kernel. I'm trying with NDK GCC 4.7 without success: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47577117
But I've investigated in other fields. I've downloaded S4 and Note3 ROMS with ANT+ support to have a look at the files.
S4 CRASH_ROM_V11: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322619
Note3 BoBCaTROM_V2.0: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498687
This is want I've found so far:
There are three system apps: AntHalService.apk, ANTRadioService.apk and ANTPlusPlugins.apk. These two latter can be found in google play. The first app is the one that "informs" the system that the device is ANT+ capable (as stated in the ant_wireless git). I've tried to install this apk manually but fails due to certificates (samsung).
S4, Note3 and Nexus5 have all different revisions for the bcm433x firmware but they all have an "ANTLockUsed" string in it (hexdump). Is it related to ANT+ or the ANTenna? Incidentally, the wisol firmware revision doesn't have this string.
The rest of the files related to ANT+ are for the com.dsi.ant.antradio_library (etc/permissions and framework files).
I can't find any ANT+ related module (ant*.so, libant*.so). Thus, is it already compiled in the kernel or not needed at all?
I've uploaded all these files in case anyone wants to have at look them.
Subscribed. ANT+ support would be awesome for all the athletes out there.
I'm a big supporter of ANT+. I wish I knew more about Android to help on this side. I have a blog that documents a lot of hacking projects related to ANT+.
If the Nexus 5 could access ANT+ it could be an amazing cycle computer potentially.
I work a bit with a SOC from Nordic. The way it works for BLE is that it compiles and downloads a soft protocol. I'm wondering if this is how the Boardcom chip works too. My reasoning is in the github:
Additionally, in Android 4.2, the Bluetooth stack switched to Bluedroid (from BlueZ) and this existing ANT implementation for chips using Vendor Specific Bluetooth HCI messaging for ANT packets (wl12xx and bcm433x) is currently not compatible, until somebody is able to do the work for the different bluetooth stacks. The chip vendors may provide build support for their own products if you inquire with them.

So it sounds like, because ANT+ and BLE are so similar, they upload a new stack to the chip which enables it. However, this stack is not in the wild.

That makes sense as I wasn't able to find any more files related to ANT+ (directly not by looking into the source code).
However, I'm very stubborn and I want ANT+ in the nexus :silly:
First of all: It still doesn't work, but so far I've learnt a few things.
First I copied the Note3 files (attached) related to ANT+ (root needed, remember to chmod 644):
/system/app/AntHalService.apk (modified to strip samsung certificates)
/system/etc/permissions/com.dsi.ant.antradio_library.xml
/system/framework/com.dsi.ant.antradio_library.jar
/system/vendor/firmware/bcm4335_A0.hcd (renamed to bcm4335c0.hcd to max nexus5 firmware name. Backup old one first!!)
Upon reboot I also installed from google play the rest of ANT+ app required.
ANT radio service: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dsi.ant.service.socket
ANT+ Plugins: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dsi.ant.plugins.antplus
ANT+ Demo: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dsi.ant.antplusdemo
When using the ANT+ Demo App it doesn't warn about anything missing (good!!) but when searching for the HRM I have it just fails (bad!!). It fails with either firmware (nexus or note). In any case dmesg doesn't so any info related to ANT+.
To summarize:
The previous files are needed so that androids "knows" ANT+ hardware is present, but
Something else needs to be modified. As stated by kwakeham probably the bluetooth stack.
I have no android or coding skills (or any skills at all ), but with this information I hope someone can have a look at the modified bluetooth stack of either S4 or Note3 to port those changes to Nexus5 :fingers-crossed:
I'm very confident because XDA is a great place with lots of wonderful people, fully capable of implementing ANT+ in the Nexus5.
They've done much harder things!!
Is it true that Bluetooth 4.0 can only connect to one device at a time? So, if we wanted to monitor heart rate on the phone and listen to music via bluetooth headphones, this would not be possible unless we used an ANT+ heart rate monitor, correct?

Close but not quite.
A BT4 HR strap will only allow one device to connect to it at a time but the phone can connect to multiple BT devices at the same time. ANT+ lets an infinite number devices to connect to a single HR strap, so like your phone stashed in your pocket and a running watch on your arm. ANT+ would also allow you to read data from hundreds of sensors, though that would be more useful for a trainer at a spin class or something lol.
Exactly, and to verfy that I just connected two Bluetooth 4.0 devices with my Nexus 5. My Pebble and the fitbit Flex from my girlfriend, both worked fine simultaneously.
Btw, windows has a limit of 7 connected Bluetooth devices at a time, but that's not caused by the Bluetooth specification.

Hello,
Still no success.
I've been looking into the source code of both S4 and Note3 opensource kernels for android version 4.3, but due to lack of coding skills I just have no idea of what to search.
The source code of bluetooth stack from these kernels and the one for nexus5 seem completely different thus it's hard to draw any conclusions. The only thing clear is that running a "grep" search into the code for "ant+", "antplus", "ant_wireless" (or similar) doesn't show any results.
It seems someone is working on having ant+ on the google editon S4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542922
Let's hope his work can be reused for the nexus5.
PS. I don't have enough posts yet to ping him back to this thread but I will try to use the files he has attached.

That's me. I've found you looking for some info to help me out.
The main issue I'm facing is the AntHalService.apk from the vendors(Samsung,Sony) is the 3.0.0 and there were 2 updates already.
I compiled the 3.1.1 but I can't run it as a system app.
Regarding the Nexus 5, I guess that since S4 got ANT+ activated on 4.3, something in the updated radio probably activated it, and as you mentioned, no .so modules on the system.
Maybe analyzing the ANTHal code deeply might bring up some light on this.
Btw, you're Brazilian or Portuguese or Spanish? (due to your nickname)
If so, we can add each other on G+ and progress on talks to see if we can bring some light to the athlete droiders out there...
Worst case scenario you can use an USB Ant+ Stick with an OTG cable. (what I am going to do while I research for this.... )
Oh, btw, Galaxy S3 also had the hardware but Samsung never activated it...

With a bit of DIY you can make something smaller.
Thanks for the info! I'm going to look into it and probably buy it.
I'm also considering the Viiiiva, which acts as a bridge between all my Ant+ devices and Bluetooth 4. The bad thing is that there's no android app yet, in the mean time, the USB one will suffice.

Hi all,
I am creating this thread so that we can investigate what can and what cannot be done with the iPhone & Gear combination.
Let me first describe my experience so far, for anyone who may be interested. So let's say you want to use the Gear with your iPhone:
First of all you need to have null ROM on the Gear (see respective thread). I have null 15.
You go to full settings and then bluetooth and make the watch discoverable.
Then you go to the iPhone and search for devices (not the other way around).
What works:
1) Basic BT handsfree functionality.
They couple OK and this is it. You have a glorified 300 euro BT handsfree in the shape of a wristwatch!
2) Internet tethering via BT.
If your iPhone carrier settings do support tethering you can also tether the Gear via BT to the iPhone. I have seen that the tethering process works but unfortunately i was in an area of no signal when i did the test (don't have an iPhone right now) so there is no hard evidence. I mean i did not see a webpage loading but i think that tethering is actually device independent. Someone please confirm.
What doesn't work:
1) Notifications (which renders the added value of the whole smartwatch concept kind of questionable)
2) An automated or even manual (but no PC/cloud involved) way to transfer photos/vids taken with the Gear camera to the iPhone.
3) Caller ID with name. I have extensively tried this with both an iPhone 4 and a 5S both on iOS7 and both not jailbroken and when a call is received i only saw the number even if the caller was in the contact list of the iPhone and the native contact list on the Gear itself.
I am searching for a solution for bullets 2 and 3, since i will swap my S4 for a 5S very soon but i do intend to keep the Gear for the time being.
Any comment/personal experience/help will be greatly appreciated.
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
As of June 11, 2014 XDA member @Accounti provided the first (and only so far) solution, regarding iPhone & Gear cooperation.
Ladied and Gents, please welcome CloudNotifier Cydia tweak.
All notifications from jailbroken iPhone can be sent via Web to the Gear (and many other devices, as it is web based). It is not a direct BT connection, therefore NULL ROM is required so that BT tethering is enabled.
I would like to personally congratulate @Accounti for his work and kindly ask that relative posts are done in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784802
Please let us continue in this thread regarding the iPhone & Gear connection methods.
i tested everything all the day. I can confirm, it works, tethering it's fine, browsing, play store access, email, also I installed Whatsapp and using it.
A problem with this, after some minuts the internet connection become "on demand" so if you receive for example a whatsapp message you don't receive immediately the notification but you will receive the first time you connect to something (for example browsing a page or sending an email).
I'm searching a way to keep internet connection alive or to wake it every 15 minutes just to have live messaging with whatsapp.
I can confirm the problem with the caller Id, i think the problem it's that the iPhone does not push contacts to gear when you pair, and when a call comes the gear look not in the contacts list but in the pairing contacts, that is empty...
---------- Post added at 01:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 AM ----------
Another problem, set every volume in gear to zero, only vibrating, iPhone is in silent mode to, when a call comes the Gear makes the ringtone anyway. It's a bad problem for me cause i can't use ringtone at work...
NZ, you do realize all this device needs is an app to communicate with. It is completely possible to make the Gear work with an iPhone.
Someone with some decent IOS App writing skills could make this work.
Stop filling this thread with your nonsense.

@gidi, did you try bluetooth transfering your files to your iPhone from the Gear ?
Not sure iOS supports bluetooth file transfers, but it should work.. along with bluetooth sharing contacts I believe, I activated that service too

@fOmey unfortunately i do not have an iPhone right now. Maybe will have the 5S within the day and then i will test and get back to the thread.
However, BT file transfer is a no go on an iPhone that is not jailbroken. Truth is that iOS 7 is a little more relaxed compared to older iOSs but i cannot confirm anything.
With a JB iPhone it may be a totally different story, however. There is tweak called BTnotificationenabler that transfers ALL push notifications through BT.
Could you please check what the profiles that the Gear supports are? Also, could you add more profiles, just in case?
Thank you dude!

@fOmey unfortunately i do not have an iPhone right now. Maybe will have the 5S within the day and then i will test and get back to the thread.
However, BT file transfer is a no go on an iPhone that is not jailbroken. Truth is that iOS 7 is a little more relaxed compared to older iOSs but i cannot confirm anything.
With a JB iPhone it may be a totally different story, however. There is tweak called BTnotificationenabler that transfers ALL push notifications through BT.
Could you please check what the profiles that the Gear supports are? Also, could you add more profiles, just in case?
Thank you dude!

That's a shame about the bluetooth transfer, although ! The bluetooth notifications is quite interesting.
What profile do you require for the bluetooth notifications ? As for adding new profiles.. I can activate additional services which have been included already, although it's kind of hit and miss if they will work ! .. If it's some weird proprietary services sadly no.
I have included majority of the useful ones already..
Hi Everyone,
I did a little thread cleaning. I think that this thread is perfect for xda. Although xda usually doesn't support iPhone development, I think most of the development here will need to be done on the Galaxy Gear side. As long as people are willing to help and test ideas, I say go for it!
Thanks!

fOmey i will search a little and get back to you.
I will alsotry to get in touch with a dev who has managed to make wonders with iPhone and Pebble.
Thing is, if some basic functionality can be achieved, then the Gear market will truly expand. There are many iPhone users who would love to use the Gear.
UPDATE: It might also be worth it if you could take a look at this: http://support.imwatch.it/downloads/
I have used the imwatch in the past and it can work both with iOS and Android.
Appart from the tethering function, i remember that when pairing with iPhone a special BT profile (do not remember it's name) was utilised that allowed the imwatch to download the whole iPhone contact list over BT.
Actually the Gear is all the imwatch was ever hoping to be and maybe some more!

Absolutely, the work is on the Gear side, cause iPhone already use the Pebble or the I'm Watch, so it's the Gear that is missing something. Thank you

Good idea Man! Look into the I'm Watch firmware is good, the profile used for sms is the Message Access Profile (MAP).
No way to save contacts manually, the Gear see it as empty. Is there a possibility to modify directly the contact file?
fOmey maybe you know witch is the right file
Just talked to fOmey in the chatroom of his website.
I informed him that jb for iOS 7 is out.
Now the news: fOmey has an iPhone also and i am trying to convince him to invest/waste some time trying to make the Gear - iPhone combination work.
Told him about the BTNotificationEnabler tweak (https://github.com/conradev/BTNotificationEnabler) and the MAP profile that is being used and he said that his ROM may already be supporting it.
If there is anyone with an iPhone and a Gear who wants to see the combination really work, please post to this thread. It could provide some motivation for fOmey!
I know he can do it if he decides to spend some time working on it.

I'm here baby! What i have to do? Jailbreak+btnotification+Gear with null15?
But, just a question, if the MAP profile is already in null rom, why i can't receive sms? Maybe fOmey means that the rom is ready but not with MAP already inside.

Maybe list of profile should help. Put everything inside null please! (Lot of people could use, not only Apple owners)

I have activated profile MCE in the current version of null_ which is a MAP profile, I have just finished activating MSE which also is a MAP profile, this will be available in the next version. So in other words all profiles in reference to MAP will be activated in the next version of null_ (16).
Take a look at this page for a better understanding.

It's auto-enabled when you turn bt on? Because when an sms arrive nothing happens, and from iPhone side it's always turned on.
fOmey maybe you can make some test with your iPhone

fOmey my man if i got this correctly then the MSE (server side) profile should be enabled on the iPhone and the MCE (client side) should be enabled on the Gear.
However, "The MCE device shall use the services of the MSE device only after successfully creating a secure connection", which kind of concerns me.
But again, in fOmey we trust for everything Gear related.

I'll do JB in a few days on 4s but only for btnotenab, cause forma the SMS si already in ios
Any workaround for the caller id issue?
With calling id names and MAP the Gear could be the perfect device.
hello guys. on the all internet exist only a single application,module which can change our signal and wifi bars from status bar into the asu,dbm or percentage info. The dev of Netstrength module for xposed said that will dont continue his work anymore. So my request for you, who know programming,etc... please continue his work and make it compatible for nougat and oreo versions. The big problem is only to the signal; isnt show anything only N/A. If i restart systemui, become readable but imediatly is freezing.

So I just rooted my huawei p9 and installed xposted installer to get the "Fake My GPS" app, but it doesn't seem to be working, google maps still shows me my own location.
Is there any apps out there working, or anyone know what I can do to make this work? Trying to change my GPS location to spy on US facebook ads, using a private proxy aswell ofcourse
